Yeay Mao on Bokor was always one of my favorites to take visitors and I had known some of the legends, but I never knew all of that. I did not see anybody bringing any penis up on my visits.
The legend is that she misses her husband's penis. So after she died, people who believe in her spirit and want to have good fortune in business make artificial penises in wood or stone as a present because they think this is what she will appreciate most.
Miech Ponn, 72, an official of the Buddhist Institute disagreed with Keo Pich. He said that Yeay Mao's husband was a high ranking official, who she loved so much, and was jealous because she did not want anyone to take him away from her. One day she learned that her husband had a second wife. She was very angry and tried to find ways to make the step-wife leave.
Because he loved the step-wife and could not live with both her and Yeay Mao, the husband stopped having sex with his wife. Yeay Mao was a strongly passionate, sexy woman who always needed a penis. So after she died her spirit still likes the penis, and people bring her offerings of wood or stone penises.
Another interpretation of her story is that when she was alive, Yeay Mao did not follow Buddhism, but Brahmanism which respected the Siva linga (male) and Yoni (the female principal), so after she died she still wanted people who respect her to bring the penis present to her.
